Driver of 18 Wheeler Arrested After Police Chase

The driver of a big rig was arrested in Mobile on Tuesday after leading police on a half-hour chase. During the chase, which began amidst an argument between the driver and his wife, the 47-year-old commercial vehicle operator made several improper lane changes and flew past a stopped school bus, according to news reports. Fortunately, only minor injuries resulted from the incident.

As was the case in this incident, Alabama truck accident injuries are often the result of driver negligence. Drivers of large trucks have an obligation to exercise caution when operating commercial vehicles. The operation of large trucks is inherently hazardous because of their massive size and weight in comparison with other vehicles on the road. Truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and even death. An experienced Birmingham truck accident lawyer can help you hold the negligent driver responsible for your injuries.
